Dangermuffin is a power trio, providing a much needed fresh perspective on American roots music. This is not your uncle’s back porch blues band, folks... these guys slice and dice their chops in a way that always keeps the dancefloor dangerous. What sets them ahead of the pack is the refreshingly magnetic songwriting of Dan Lotti, winner of the 2005 “New Writers Showcase” held by the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His strong, articulate vocals frame each song perfectly, creating a stout foundation for the tasteful poly-groove jams and improvisational passages. Americana radio darlings WNCW have been spinning “Beermuda” in their regular rotation for over a year. Anchored by the creative beats of Steven Sandifer (Drew Emmitt Band, Adrienne Young, The Biscuit Boys) and embellished by the thrilling, twangy guitar stylings of Mike Sivilli, Dangermuffin is a complete work of art. The music has an inventive and fresh quality, while still retaining that organic Americana truthfulness. The band was recently celebrated by the 360,000+ international readers of Relix Magazine as the April 2009 “Jam Off” competition winner. Their fanbase is skyrocketing, with a strong regional presence in the Southeast plus explosive tours out West, including an appearance at the revered Jazz Aspen Festival opening for Widespread Panic and Xavier Rudd. With two strong records already under their belt, the ‘muffins’ are poised to release an all-new, flagship album in the summer of 2009.
